Above all spirits

Chapter 420 A Moment of Enlightenment (Part 2)

"Hmm? Gu boy? Why aren't you saying anything? Is something wrong with your body?"

Werner seemed to notice Gu Yun's dazed state and thought that something was wrong with Gu Yun's health, so he asked with some concern.

Gu Yun shook his head, a refreshing feeling spreading throughout his body as if enlightened.

"No, I just had a slight realization."

"What did you figure out?"

"How to go from a demon general to a demon lord, and then from a demon lord to a demon king."

"?"

"What's wrong? Nobody taught me, so I have to figure it out on my own?"

"Huh? You can figure this out on your own?"

Gu Yun shrugged and didn't reply, implying that it was none of his business as a lowly demon.

They're all like encyclopedic old men who teach you everything from astronomy to geography, right from the start.

Sigh, I'm not destined for that.

In response to Werner's earlier question, Gu Yun replied.

"That place is on the other side."

"By chance, I came across it."

"One of the Ten Great Chaos Treasures, the Manifestation of the Rules of Life and Death, the Primordial Life and Death Sword."

While Werner was still reeling from the shock, Gu Yun gave him a brief explanation of the whole story.

...

"Damn it, Gu kid, this isn't a coincidence, it's clearly a forced take. If I were the Book of Destiny, I'd be speechless. You've been ripped off for nothing."

"I regret it. If I had known I could play like this, I wouldn't have fallen asleep and missed out on so many fun things."

There wasn't a trace of regret in Gu Yun's eyes.

"No, I think it's worth it."

If Gu Yun had known this method from the beginning, he probably wouldn't have taken the risk, nor would he have cared about the loss of his lifespan. Since he could use soul matter to replace it, he wouldn't have chosen to retain the will to die, but would have chosen the more direct method of eliminating the will to die.

Then, one might very well miss out on this wonderful state of being with Werner.

Moreover, the time of arrival at the other side varies, and the location may also be uncertain. If one is far away, even if given guidance, one will return empty-handed.

Fate is a very mysterious thing.

Gu Yun doesn't believe in fate, and he will never regret any of his decisions, even if he had the chance to start over.

Because no one can be certain whether the outcome of another path will be good or bad.

"Young Gu, have you ever used this sword before?"

"We are all Chaos Treasures, so it can't be like the Book of Reversal of Fate that requires sacrificing one's life, right?"

Gu Yun gripped the hilt of the sword, raised the Primordial Life and Death Sword, and gently wiped the black blade.

"The reason I'm referring to the Book of Reversing Fate is because I know nothing about the rules of fate, but the rules of life and death are a different story."

"Huh? What are you saying? Could it be that you've secretly mastered the rules of life and death? No, that's impossible. The Emperor's Will of Life and Death? That doesn't make sense either!"

Gu Yun ignored Werner. This guy wasn't very smart. Who said that you have to get the approval of the Emperor of Life and Death to master the power of the rules of life and death? His thinking has become rigid after spending some time in the lower realm, hasn't it? Eve can also use the power of the rules of life and death, can't she?

The power of the rules of life and death contained in the Emperor's Will of Life and Death is only a corner of the entire rules of life and death.

Gathering the life and death imperial will of the lower realm is nothing more than giving you a gun. As for whether it is a pistol, a submachine gun, or a machine gun, it depends on what life and death rules are originally contained within the life and death imperial will. You cannot choose for yourself.

The path in the upper realm, however, allows you to choose the type of gun you need and build it yourself. If you're capable, you can even master the crafting methods for all types of guns.

The will of the emperor in the lower realm may only be able to condense into one form, but the path to mastering the rules in the upper realm is multifaceted.

Of course, it's very difficult.

Gu Yun is now planning to follow the path of the upper realm, which controls the rules.

From momentum to domain, and then from domain to rules.

Although he did not know what momentum was or how to generate it.

But Gu Yun felt confident after this experience that if someone could explain the principles of "momentum" to him, he would be able to take this step very quickly.

Having just experienced a sudden enlightenment, Gu Yun was certain that his current body should have a high degree of adaptability to the power of the rules of life and death, and that taking the path with the rules of life and death as the destination would surely be twice as effective with half the effort.

There's a word that goes something like that.

Oh.

A sacred body formed from the innate rules of life and death.

Gu Yun stood up and grasped the blunt sword.

It's heavier than the White Soul Sword, but it's acceptable.

"Can you get inside this sword?"

Have you tried it?

Gu Yun was naturally speaking to Bai Qi and Hei Qi.

Bai Qi replied.

"Before you lost consciousness, I tried to get in, but I couldn't. My instincts told me I could get in, but it seemed like I was being blocked."

Black Seven echoed this explanation.

"It's the same situation as the Crown of the Broken Boundary you mentioned. Since it's the second time, I feel that you're missing a key to open the door."

Hmm... the key to open the door.

Gu Yun consciously activated the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will, "Boundless".

This power was gathered in the hand that held the Primordial Life and Death Sword.

The Heavenly Demon Emperor's Intent "Boundless" is a branch of power on the side of the rules of life.

If it were a key, the only one Gu Yun could think of was the power of the same rules contained within the Primordial Life and Death Sword itself.

The Primordial Life and Death Sword seemed to have received some kind of response, humming for a moment before returning to silence.

Gu Yun sighed.

"Isn't one type enough?"

"So, is it really necessary to still have the power from the side of the rules of death?"

Gu Yun reluctantly pulled a few curtains hanging by the bed to wrap the Hongmeng Life and Death Sword, then tied it to his back.

It's unclear how high the required level of power is for the other side of the death rule. Is it just "momentum," "domain," or... "the power of rules"?

If both require the power of rules, then the threshold is too high; even god-kings and demon-kings might not be able to afford it.

After all, although it is called the rules of life and death, it actually includes two major systems: the rules of life and the rules of death. Normally, specializing in one should be enough to reach the level of a demon king or a god king.

Sigh, if that's really the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to use the official vehicle for personal purposes and lock it up.

Because whether it's the Book of Reversal of Fate or the Crown of Severance, all Chaos Treasures are currently used passively. The Primordial Sword of Life and Death probably also has its own unique passive usage method. If any living being masters this method, they can use Chaos Treasures in the most basic way.

Private use, on the other hand, is the ability to actively draw out the power of the rules inherent in the Chaos Treasure itself. This requires a certain degree of understanding of these rules and even possessing the same power.

As for locking it, that means allowing the Spirit Race to enter the Chaos Treasure and take it into their own spiritual world.

The Chaos Spiritual Treasure could not be stored in a spatial artifact. Based on this experience, Gu Yun guessed that it was because ordinary spatial artifacts could not withstand the residual power of the Chaos Spiritual Treasure's natural rules. However, the power of the Spirit Race was somewhat special and should be able to do so. Even if there was an impact, it would only affect himself.

Given my current physical condition, I am more than capable of withstanding the influence of the rules of life and death.

The most important thing right now is to grasp the "momentum".
